Maybe this ?

Code:
$ 
$ # show all files whose names start with "access"
$ ls -1 access*
access1004202232.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005010932.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005012357.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005021349.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005022359.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005030058.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
$ 
$ # pick up files created between "100501" and "100502"
$ perl -le 'print foreach (grep /^access10050[12]/, (glob "access*"))'
access1005010932.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005012357.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005021349.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005022359.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
$ 
$ # or using just the shell
$ ls -1 access10050[12]*
access1005010932.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005012357.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz
access1005021349.merged-00.21.9b.94.43.a1.log.gz

GIT-FMT-MERGE-MSG(1)						    Git Manual						      GIT-FMT-MERGE-MSG(1)

NAME

       git-fmt-merge-msg - Produce a merge commit message

SYNOPSIS

       git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
       git fmt-merge-msg [--log | --no-log] -F <file>

DESCRIPTION

       Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be passed as
       the <merge-message> argument of git merge.

       This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts automatically invoking git merge.

OPTIONS

       --log
	   In addition to branch names, populate the log message with one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being merged.

       --no-log
	   Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being merged.

       --summary, --no-summary
	   Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be removed in the future.

       -F <file>, --file <file>
	   Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of stdin.

CONFIGURATION

       merge.log
	   Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly merge commit messages. False by default.

       merge.summary
	   Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
